Upgrade yesterday to ZA Security Suite has made my computer unusable

Yesterday I got a popup telling me about an upgrade, so I installed it.The Overview page is now showing version 6.5.714.000.Now, any time I try to access any application on my PC, I get "Access to the specified device, path or file is denied." Since this includes the Control Panel, I can't uninstall the product.HELP!

you should be able to go to start the all programs and see zonealarm there and it should have an unintall option if not do a search for zauninst.exe it should be in "C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zauninst.exe" run that and it should remove it. I for one would not load 6.5 again until they fix the bugs bugs bugs go back to 6.1 and uncheck the automatic check for updates.

Did you try booting the system into safe mode and than running the uninstall?

If you are unaware you do that by pressing the F8 key at bootup and selecting "Safe Mode" with no drivers, start-up software, etc, enabled.

Make sure no connection to the internet is operational at the time you do this as you will be wide open to possible outside malware attempting to install itself on your system. If you have a standby switch on your modem place the system in stand-by. If it is constant-on than either pull the plug on it or pull the USB or ether-net wire that connects it to your system.

This should work as ZA will not be running and thus not blocking your attempts at an uninstall.

Have you tried the option of "Last Known Good Configuration"? Also, perhaps you may want to try the option of SFC /Scannow, just in case any system files are missing. Then if you are interested, PLEASE go to the following thread and select one of the uninstall options that you would like to try to get your problem solved.

I thought it was just me!!! I tried running internet explorer and i got the same thing -- a popup saying Internet explorer (path goes here) is invalid.. INTERNET Explorer of all applications, i thought someone was hacking my computer, i finally managed to open Task Manager before my systemfroze and ZLCLIENT.EXE was using up more than 94MB of Ram, What On Earth!!!Anyone Experiencing This Issue?Using Zone Alarm Security Suite Version: 6.5.722.000

I haven't experienced any of the afore mentioned problems yet, (knock on wood), but I have experienced other problems since downloading 6.5. Some of my programs that ran just fine prior to downloading 6.5 will not run unless I disable ZA. I even got the infamous windows error, "windows has encountered a problem and must be shut down. Sorry about your luck, etc. etc." while running WINDOWS DEFRAG!. I can't figure that one out, but after dsabling ZA, it ran fine, as with the other programs. Gotta be a major glich with ZA 6.5 going on here!!!
